Katreena is getting more and more frustrated. It’s bad enough that any hope to free the world from the power of the mages rests on her, but the idea that she’s responsible for the irritating and maddening Nudd makes it even worse. Why of all possible companions is she stuck with the silly blacksmith’s apprentice. Why is he always staring at her? Why - and this is the most important - why does she find herself looking at him all the time? Why does she care what he thinks anyway?

What happens when a pursuer can’t be outdistanced, can’t be misled, and can’t be killed. Lark, a city scout, must confront those questions when the demonic creation of the dark scientist Baer Bore sets his sights on him. Can steam and powder overcome the flesh of a hound that cannot die? N. Jacob Wright’s brilliant pacing and steampunk sensibilities make this tale as intriguing as it is horrifying. Why the beast had chosen him and his horse the scout didn’t know. He knew only that like those before him the beast could not be killed by even the most well placed of shots.

Alex and Misae share an impossible love from impossible and opposite perspectives.
